I wish I could get at least 10 hours of integration, or better yet, all 20. Unfortunately, with such modest integration time, it doesn’t look good.

Agreed, but the sky and other opportunities are limited...

That's true, but at your latitude it at least rises above the horizon for some time. At my latitude, it's completely impossible to capture, and it's such a beautiful object.

I'm also from Moscow, but my father is from Adygea. However, even in Adygea (latitude 44), this object isn't very high in the sky. But the nebula itself is indeed very beautiful!
